Dancing with the Stars is quickly heading towards its finale, and tonight the contestants were whittled down to the final five. While this is usually the point at which the season can go off in some crazy and incorrect direction, Marilu and Derek heading home was probably the correct result.

Marilu has never been a bad dancer, but the tension between them has been occasionally uncomfortable, and all of the other stars are better than she is at this point, which is fine. This final five is going to be a tough race!
